MSA2000i dual controller: Multipathing with Win2K8
Hi,
I use an MSA2000i dual controller together with serveral Windows Server 2008 machines. I want to enable multi pathing.
I followed the manual "HP StorageWorks MSA2000 Family MPIO DSM installation guide". I used:
1. servermanagercmd -install multipath-io
2. mpclaim -r -i -d "HP MSA2"
From then, in device manager all iSCSI disks are displayed as "HP MSA2012i Multi-Path Disk Device" and its properties contained the MPIO tab.
I'm just uncertain about one thing: The manual says I should use the built in native MPIO DSM.
But in MS technet it says that native MPIP supports only "SCSI Primary Commands-3 (SPC-3) compliant" devices.
When I go now to Administrative tools > MPIO and the "Discover Multi-Paths" tab the list of SPC-3 compliant devices is empty and I can't select the "Add support for iSCSI devices" checkbox because it is grayed out.
Is this normal behavior and everything working as expected or did I miss something?
Regards,
Dominik
